Alien Plant Day

Another challenge quest with . This time it was about creating an alien plant. I must say, this was harder as I thought!
I am not content with this one. Only now I started to paint again. I still don’t have the right paper and the cheap school-paper doesn't allow me to do stuff like wet-in-wet technics and such.

However it was also a pain to think of an alien plant. I really wanted it to look alien and unique to an extra-terrestrial surrounding. The main part of the plant is the bulb-like body, which is heavy and keeps the plant in place. The bulbs develop out of spores that float to the ground and become sessile.
The bulb sprouts tentacle like things that float around above. The gravity of this planet is lighter than ours, so everything living there “free” and “airy” living. The tentacle arms are there to shed spores for reproductions and also to filter nutrition from the air. On Earth this is mostly done by roots in the soil, but the air in this place contains many floating particles due to the low gravity which makes it worth to filter the air.

Oh and to make it a true plant: the tentacles also gather photons for energy. However it is another mechanism and pigment than chlorophyll in Earth’s plants .

Our challenges: ART CHALLENGEWe started an art challenge together with Indiliel
We both gave 5-5 themes and the task is to complete 3 of each half of the list.
Here is our list with the finished artworks :3 Enjoy! I'll update it as we make progress.
THEMES FROM Indiliel 
1. Personification of at least one planet of our solar system. Chose a planet and show what a humanoid character could look alike that represents that traits of that planet. Not necessarily by the Latin/Greek name of the planet, but rather by its physical traits like color, material, shape and/or other scientific facts. Digital or traditional media is fine.
2. Halloween costume. Stick an original character in a Halloween costume that fits their personality (e.g. a grim reaper costume would not match a vivid character). Digital or traditional media is fine.
3. Fictional solar system. Create a fictional solar system with a sun and a set of planets or other objects. It does not have to be scientifically correct, but should rather show a variet
